Mercenaries 3D hits 3DS on June 8 in the US and is out in July in the UK.

You need something fresh. Something new. Something different.

Famitsu (via Andriasang) reports that Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D is lurching onto Japanese 3DSes on June 2. Meanwhile, Resident Evil’s resident master of unlocking Jill Valentine received the spotlight treatment in this week’s issue, as did sunglasses model and occasional mega-baddie, Wesker. Apparently, Jill’s a more balanced character while Wesker’s all about shooting everything that moves.

Happily, a local and online co-op variant – called “Duo Mode” – is also in the cards. So if you need big guns and unlocking versatility, just grab a friend.

We’ll check-in with Capcom to see if it’s narrowed down a US/EU release just yet, but even if it hasn’t, we can’t imagine it’s too terribly far off.

Following yesterday’s confirmation of 3DS’s launch line-up and details on battery life and such, Nintendo World 2011 has yielded a staggering weight of video, imagery and news on Zelda 3DS, Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition, Resident Evil: Revelations, Kid Icarus and more.

We’ve rounded everything up for you below. Read the following and you’ve missed nothing.

3DS launches on February 26 in Japan. US and European launch details are expected to be announced at events in Amsterdam and New York on January 19.

Super Street Fighter 4 3D Edition detailed

As per a presentation on the handheld 3D edition of SSF4 at the Nintendo event, the game’s to contain 35 characters, online play, a spectator mode called Channel Live which supports up to six viewers per match, in which you can select your preferred view perspective; a gold version of Chun-Li; and something called Download Play, which allows you to keep on playing even if the original host player has left a match. Watch the game demoed in the video below.

Capcom’s two 3DS Resident Evil games, Revelations and Mercenaries, both got a viewing Nintendo World 2011. Revelations is a full new RE game, while Mercenaries combines arcade levels from both RE4 and 5.

Revelations will feature more characters than just Jill and Chris, and won’t just take place on the already-seen ship. Some stages will be huge, apparently.

Mercenaries will focus is on “high action” and includes a grenade launcher that calls down an electric bolt. And everyone needs one of those.

Capcom piggybacked Nintendo’s 3DS date and price announcement this morning to confirm two titles for the system, showing off first screens of Resident Evil: Mercenaries 3D and dropping new shots of Resident Evil: Revelations, the 3DS RE game it announced at E3 this year.

The new horror title was described as being “set in the Resident Evil universe,” and will “deliver relentless action with players competing against the clock to defeat as many enemies as possible in a fixed time.”

The game will feature Mercenaries missions from Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5, as well as new modes and extra characters from the series.

The title will take advantage of 3DS’s WiFi Connectivity, meaning you’ll be able to kill the bad guys with your friends wherever you are.

First shots below.

Mega Man Legends 3 Project was also announced, and will apparently give fans “an opportunity to be part of the development process like never before as they interact directly with the team.”

Further details of this project will be revealed at next month’s New York Comic-Con.

Nintendo said this morning that 3DS will launch on February 26 in Japan and March in the US and Europe.
